In 1906 an experimental camp was held on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour in August by the founder Lord Robert Baden-Powell. In 1908 BP wrote a series of magazines called Scouting for Boys explaining the Scout Method. The Scout method is the principal method by which the Scouting organizations, boy and girl, operate their units. WOSM describes Scouting as "…a voluntary nonpolitical educational movement for young people open to all without distinction of origin, race or creed, in accordance with the purpose, principles and method conceived by the Founder..." It is the goal of Scouting to contribute to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.” After the publication Scout patrols were created all around the UK and by the end of the year it went of shore to many British Empire nations including Australia. The Boy Scout Association of Australia, now Scouts Australia or officially The Scout Association of Australia was founded and the Queensland Branch the following year. There are now 40 million scouts and leaders worldwide, 80 000 in Australia and 10 000 in Queensland.
Should be a simple find. There are two options for parking (Naver St or Bilga St by the Scout Den). I recommend Bilga Street because there are parking bays and you pass the plaque. On this site "16,000 boy scouts from 17 countries camped here between 26 December 1967 and the 6th January 1968." (Jamboree Park Sign, Brisbane City Council) Many streets in the area have scouting related names. This is also a sister cache to Be Prepared - Scout Place in Kangaroo Point. Link Text As of Saturday 19th July 2014 it was moved to bushland behind the scout hut which gives you more of what the area would of been like at the time. Congratulations to moo73 for the FTF honours and Derf88 for the 10th find.
